This actually makes alot of sense, of all the suspensions I've had over the years the spoons on the itr and the mugens on the bb4 were to me far better than any adjustable coilovers I've had. Im sure the bilsteins will be just as good.Ted wrote:Wasn't pointing the finger directly at you, consider this, they are a cracking set, far better than a lot of the adjustable platform ones out there and what most people do is buy a set of adjustables slap them on the car and wait for the adjusters to seize up before selling them on to somebody else who just bolts them on the car as they are anyway, each to their own but once set up adjustables are very rarely tampered with anyway. Bilstein went to a lot of trouble to get these to work properly, so much trouble in fact that when I bought a car to break and these were on it I kept them for myself. Lovely rideheight and cracking handling and fortunately bilstein has done all the hard work of setting them up for me.
Just something to think about thats all.

I hear what your saying, I'm sure they are very good. And if I was just after suspension to put on the car a forget like you say, I'm sure I'd consider these.
However I am building a track car with mine, which you were not to know.. So for that reason I personally wan some fully adjustable coilovers so I can adjust the rates etc for different tracks, aswell as when I use it on the road.
Yes I'm sure a lot of people just stick them on and forget about them untill they rust. I'm aware of this and would only be interested in good working condition items. Or I'll buy new

To get this thread back on track I shall vouch that Ed is in fact a great guy to deal with 8D
Communication was great from day 1 and he couldn't do enough to help. Absolutely no issues with the collection I'd arranged and he'd wrapped my goods exceedingly well
Good luck with the sale of the rest of your bits bud

Big thanks to Nathan above. Very easy to deal with and made my life easier. Nice to see the exhaust going to good use again after being years laid up. Suspension also sold with thanks to Wurlycorner. Both decent blokes who were a pleasure to deal with. A few bits still left but I mainly want to shift that gearbox out of my shed before I move house and it ends up spending another seven years taking my shins out every time I go in for the bike. So gearbox is now FREE and prices revised on some other bits. I've googled the gearbox number 'M2J4' and it comes up as being from a eudm 2.0 16 valve so please do your own homework on what it will fit. I had bought it for my jap 2.2 si back in the day by giving my chassis and engine number to an international breaker.. Pity I didn't notice before the 6 months guarantee ran out.. But then again I didn't know that my coilovers weren't coilovers and my de-cat wasn't a de-cat. Back then if a car came in from Japan tricked , fast and stable I didn't tend to fix anything until it broke or fell off.
Thanks for looking and to Ludegeneration admin and members for assisting in my quest to reclaim my shed space.
